Abstract:

The aim of this volume is to highlight the benefits and potential of using
learner corpora for the testing and assessment of L2 proficiency in both
speaking and writing, reflecting the growing importance of learner corpora in
applied linguistics and second language acquisition research. Identifying
several desiderata for future research and practice, the volume presents a
selection of original studies, covering a variety of different languages. It
features studies that present very thoroughly compiled new corpus resources
which are tailor-made and ready for analysis in LTA, new tools for the
automatic assessment of proficiency levels, and new methods of
(self-)assessment with the help of learner corpora. Other studies suggest
innovative research methodologies of how proficiency can be operationalized
through learner corpus data. The volume is of particular interest to
researchers in (applied) corpus linguistics, learner corpus research, language
testing and assessment, as well as for materials developers and language
teachers.
